E' il 1327. Il giorno di Ognissanti quattro bambini si allontanano di nascosto dal priorato di Kingsbridge e assistono per caso nella foresta all'omicidio di due uomini. Da allora le vite di questi ragazzi saranno indissolubilmente legate tra loro e, una volta adulti, conosceranno amore, avidità, ambizione e vendetta. Vivranno momenti di prosperità e carestia, malattia e guerra. Ma su ciascuno resterà l'ombra di quell'inspiegabile delitto di cui furono testimoni in quel fatidico giorno della loro infanzia.
